Exercise 1 - Project Setup

In this exercise, we will create a Project. Projects are the key entities to facilitate SAP implementations.

Projects can be equipped with project templates to best support different kind of implementations e.g. SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP SuccessFactors, or Intelligent Enterprise Suite focussed implementations. Projects also provide a time boxing and defines the teams and the concrete persons doing the project work.

You can now proceed with the exercise by reading the steps below. In case you find issues, you can look at the recorded demo.

Select Project Template and Define Timeboxes/Sprints

We will begin many of the exercises from the Fiori launchpad. When you are within any application , you can click on the SAP Logo to return to Fiori Launchpad

1. Create Team and Assign Persons
   A Project can have multiple teams. Each team has multiple roles, users can be assigned to one or more roles or one or more teams. In order to onboard a new team member, the user needs to be entered here. This user has to be known to the Identity Provider (productive IAS) connected to SAP Cloud ALM, so that the user can be invited via eMail to the project. The team is displayed per Project, to edit it you need to navigate to the Teams tab under "Manage Projects" and select “edit”.
